CXLVII. Shadespire: Obryn the Bold

Obryn the Bold, the second member of my version of Steelheart's Champions. He is a beefy fellow wielding a two-handed hammer. Same as with Angharad, I gave him an extensive armour makeover and a worn-out look with the paintjob.

The original model, for comparison.

Again, huge shoulder pads and weapon got replaced with something more reasonable. I also wanted him to have a full breastplate, so I resculpted that part.

The blue parts are the original mini, the grey is other bits and the green/yellow are putty.

In the meantime, I've played my first game of Shadespire. I'm happy to say I like the game, so the warband will not sit unused for sure.

Angharad and Obryn. Only one member left to do - the leader.

I've been asked a few times for a tutorial for this weathered armour. I just want to say haven't forgotten; it will appear here soon.

Amazing yet again! And after my comment on the last post I started to mull over ideas for what I'd probably do.

One of the things I was thinking about was making open mouthed helms like Mordred from Excalibur and then I see this post and you've gone and done it with your latest creation lol. But I'm seeing it as proof positive that it looks very nice.

I've been immersing myself in inspirational images of decorative Renaissance and Gothic plate. Just trying to fuel the imagination somewhat.

I'm really tempted to go to the Royal Armouries for a little day out and soak up some more.

I really like the way you've "tones down" the model by making the armour simpler and the weapon less cartoony. I find that some of the AoS models look too World of Warcrafty - it's surprising how giving him a smaller hammer actually makes him seem all the more brutal. Very nice indeed!
